Above 736p currently indicates the chance of triggering movement to an initial 886p with our secondary, if bettered, at 904p. The close proximity of these target levels certainly indicates the potential of a ceiling level.
In the distant future, we can also indicate a future 1,030p as exerting a distant attraction.
Our alternate scenario, if things decide to go wrong, suggests weakness below 704p would now be required to provoke reversals to an initial 694p with our secondary, if broken, working out at a hopeful bottom of 665p.
